Tweaked 1.6 UVALL4 T889 Samsung Galaxy Note 2

[/size]​

[size=+1]

NOTE:

[/size] 1.6 is OTA-only, so you need to already be on 1.5 in order to get to 1.6.

Hey everyone - resident no-one-in-particular here that can't stay away from tinkering it seems. While I haven't had the Note 2 very long, I've been messing around with out-of-date phone stuff for a while now so I thought I'd try and get together a few of the things I've done in the past here. This was my first foray into the world of TouchWizzed Jellybean, and as I had minimal experience with such newer buttery goodness this has been quite the time consuming process - but on the upside I'm pretty happy with how things have turned out.

It should be noted that this is still a work in progress, but I feel enough is done to warrant it being posted - that way others (assuming others give it a shot) can let me know if things don't work or if any oddities come up. Also feel free to comment on how this might improve or if I've gone about anything in a not-so-smart way or if there is anything you would like to see (or wish wasn't there) - I can't promise I'll do anything about it, but such requests keep me motivated and learning, and thats been the driving force behind my tinkering since it began really :)

[size=+2]I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS (GOOD OR BAD) AS A RESULT OF FLASHING OR ATTEMPTING TO FLASH WHAT IS POSTED HERE![/size]

[size=+1]CWM/TWRP Installation instructions[/size]

:

Usual rules apply - while very much stable in my experience you should be cautious whenever you flash. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset to avoid issues. Flash in

CWM

/

TWRP

recovery - this should of course imply that you will need to already have such things in place if you are interested in giving this a try.

- Backup your current setup/data

- Download file and place on sdcard

- Boot into CWM/TWRP recovery

- Recommended to wipe data/factory reset in CWM/TWRP recovery

- Select and install the .zip you put on your sdcard

[size=+1]Miscellaneous Notes[/size]

:

As the Note2 is privy to a number of ROMs and kernels, for the sake of simplicity I have included the unaugmented UVALL4 stock kernel. Also - this is still pretty much unthemed (if any would like to change this PLEASE let me know - a themer I am not!). There are a few minor theme-ish things going on in Mms and the Dialer, and the appearance of the pulldown is slightly different, but nothing major by any means. This is primarily UVALL4 stock-themed - and as can be gathered with the look and the included kernel the thinking behind the whole setup is stock with some extra options. My guess is most pre-existing things will give this issues, but I can't imagine any of the TW-based custom kernels out there to cause any grief.

I managed to get the Aroma stuff figured out, so starting with Tweaked 1.1 I will be using an AROMA-based install package. Make sure to thank

amarullz

for the awesome work!
